Weekly Flylady Thread 5th November 2007

Solwaykid

Lil_me, I'm glad you're getting settled and unpacked slowly and you've got your broadband up and running!
Michelle, that sounds like a productive weekend indeed. Good going.

I've done the ironing and the food inventory. The WM has been on a hot and empty wash after I dyed a sofa throw on Friday. The house is generally tidy too with everything where it should be. I feel like I've achieved a lot in a couple of hours and I'm ready for the week. I've still got a meal plan to do and the freezer is a bit bare of can't-be-bothered-to-cook meals so I'll work around that when I do it.

I'm going to get an early night tonight. I was sober at a house party 'til 1 last night and was in work for 8 this morning. I need to get some credit in the Bank of Sleep. I'm only working (and flying) 3 days this week as me and Blokey are flying to London on Thursday morning 'til Friday to see a band. I'll have to get planned and packed for that at some point too.

Right, have a good evening all and a useful day tomorrow. I'll catch up with the thread in the evening AFTER I've done what needs doing on the list.

Reformed

Feel much better now that living room is looking better - I have to sort through the coffee table.

Have sorted out my holiday clothes - those that I can fit into... put away all of my old clothes that I've grown into (bump is getting bigger) into a box. Got lots more space now.

Tasks for tomorrow are to sort through the spare room which is full of unpacked boxes. Am going to be ruthless and get rid of lots. As soon as I get back I am ebaying the lot of it.

Absolutely shattered - I'm off to bed.

Evening all

Well I've spent all day doing DD's bedroom - and I mean all day - from 10 this morning until 7.30 when she went to bed. I can see the floor now and everything is in it's place. I've got 3 big carrier bags of stuff for the charity shop as well as numerous bags of rubbish. So a productive day but DD has been warned not to let it get in that state again on pain of death!

Shell.. the bunny isn't entirely nekkid.. he is still in a mega sulk though.. I don't think he appreciated being shaved.. I wouldn't mind but he actually looks like a rabbit now rather than a mop!!! I filled a tesco carrier with hair though!!! and he is STILL fluffy!!! He likes it least when I was trying to get the bit round his bum.. and the bit under his neck.. I'm having the vet clip his nails in the morning so I may ask her to see if she can nekkid those bit for me.. hahaha.. traumatised hoppeties!!!

Right I'm off for a shower and to the pub.. who am I having drinks for?

Juliejim.. I LOVE doing that.. watching all that stuff getting flung.. it feels really good!! I REALLY need to do something similar in my room but every time I go in there I just get in bed and go to sleep!!

Have a smirnoff ice for me! Been ages since I had one of those! Used to down them in one before DDs came along - Such a lady i know.

Glad you didnt attack hoppy with the immac:rotfl:
